The blues are ubiquitous. You may never have sat down to listen to all of B.B. King and Lucille's "Indianola Mississippi Seeds," and you may never have attempted to sell your soul to the devil (a la Robert Johnson), but if you've breathed, you know the blues. You've had your heart broken, lost a loved one, had financial woes or at least heard a little rock 'n' roll.
the Existential Tomato
May 6, 2004 In the spring, even the most urbanized Southerners exhibit an itch to plant tomatoes. Many Southern gardeners take stock of their formal perennial beds and despair of finding a sunny spot for a tomato plant.

A Two-Soul ‘Soliloquy’
As objects, clouds and crayons aren't exactly an obvious combination—a few miles do separate the two, after all. For Jackson music duo Clouds & Crayons, on the other hand, collaborating just made sense.

[Music] Maurice Smith: Jackson's Newest Sound of Neosoul
When a music listener from Mississippi takes a moment to reflect on the local homegrown talent, the first names that likely come to mind are blues legends such as B.B. King, hip-hop artists like David Banner or even a country singer by the name of Faith Hill. No one ever quite pictures a neosoul artist with a funky groove.
